Thioflavin T (ThT), aka Basic Yellow 1, or Cl49005, is the dye used to see the amyloid beta plaques and proteins found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. It starts out as yellow, but turns blue when it is in contact with amyloid beta. Alavez, trained in neuroscience, experimented with ThT, administering the dye into nematodes that had been bred to mimic signs of Alzheimer's disease.
Healthy nematodes normally have a life span of two or three weeks, but with the dye, their life spans were extended by 50 percent. In those worms that were bred with 'Alzheimer's,' ThT significantly slowed disease progression. The Lithgow Lab has been looking for compounds that could slow aging for more than 10 years. ThT appears to be effective at slowing down aging and disease processes. As for Alvarez, ThT is not his first longevity find; he has identified several other compounds, including curcumin, now being tested in several human clinical trials for such diseases as colon cancer,rheumatoid arthritis and depression.

No evidence for multivitamin's disease benefit
There is no evidence to indicate that multivitamin use is associated with risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and overall risk of death, according to new research. Read more: nutraingredients.com
